Adopting pets at a reduced price
Currently, shelters across the U.S. are overcrowded with dogs. But Holly Sizemore, the Chief Mission Officer for Best Friends Animal Society, says they are about to get inundated with cats and kittens as well.
Now is the time to spay and neuter both indoor and all outdoor cats as females are currently in heat and will start producing offspring within the next couple of months. There are Trap, Neuter, and Release (TNR) programs across the country to help pay for the cost of these procedures.
Sizemore says most pets in shelters are human causes, not because the animal is damaged in someway. Their adoption fees are much less expensive than buying from a breeder or pet store.

Your belief in yourself can affect your income.
Be thoughtful about the money you DO have. That's from Justin Janowski, coach and founder of Faith2Influence. He says the beliefs you hold about money -- good or bad -- can influence the amount of wealth you attain.
Justin says 50% of the world exists on only $2.00 a day. That means, the other 50% of the population has more money than we may we think we do. The stories we are telling ourselves about what money IS, could be what is holding us back.

Many companies around the world are changing where they put their own money based on Environment, Social and Governance rules.
